Waking hallucinations could correspond to a mild form of dreaming sleep stage hallucinatory activity
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 22 December 2005
Abstract
There are strong resemblances between the neurobiological characteristics of hallucinations occurring in the particular case of schizophrenia and the hallucinatory activity observed during the rapid-eye-movement (dreaming) sleep stage: the same prefrontal dorsolateral deactivation; forebrain disconnectivity and disinhibition; sensory deprivation; and acetylcholine, monoamine, and glutamate modifications.
